A former military sergeant has revealed why she abandoned her uniform to sell saucy snaps online – and claims she is now raking in the cash.
Tati Weg worked in the military police for 10 years but liked taking sexy photos in her spare time and share them with her colleagues as a gag.
Eventually, she decided to turn her hobby into a side hustle to make extra money.

Living in a small town, word of her extracurricular activities soon spread.
“It was exciting; I enjoyed the experience and realised that this was something I liked to do, exposing myself in this way,” Tati, from Brazil, told Need To Know.
“Before my career transition, I worked for approximately a year as a cam girl, keeping my identity hidden.
“After realising that it could be highly profitable, I decided to leave everything behind to dedicate myself fully to producing adult content, now using my real identity.
“The police only authorised my departure from the force after an interview with a military psychologist because everyone thought I was crazy.
“I lived in a small town – news about my extracurricular activities quickly spread, and I started gaining more followers as my neighbours subscribed.”
Tati claims that soon she was earning more than 10 times her former salary – though she won’t reveal the exact figure.
When she told her family about her career change, they didn’t believe her at first, but eventually accepted it.
She said: “They didn’t understand.
“I made sure to warn them a few days before releasing the photos but everyone thought it was a joke.
“When my photos and videos leaked and started circulating on the internet, it took just a few hours for my family to receive them.
“My mother called me in despair, asking what had happened; my brother had to deal with jokes in his social circle, and my father chose not to talk about it for a long time.
“It was only two years later that we talked and he expressed that, although he didn’t agree, he supported me out of love.
“My mother gradually normalised the situation, got excited about the financial return and calmed down when she saw that I was safe and happy in my new activity.
“She even helped me produce an entire video recorded in my hometown.
“Today, my family fully supports me.”
As much as she loved her job in the force, Tati says she would never go back.
She said: “I am very grateful for everything I experienced as a sergeant.
“It was my dream and one of the greatest achievements of my life, passing a highly competitive exam on the first attempt at 18.
“I feel grateful and proud.
“However, I don’t see myself returning to the profession.
“After tasting the freedom and the universe of possibilities in the digital market, it is impossible to return to the traditional job market.”
Tati has previously made headlines for taking part in the 2023 Miss BumBum competition and has over 171,000 followers on Instagram, (@tatiweg).
